I arrived late saturday night to Grand Targhee Ski Resort and it was dumping snow. Over night Grand Targhee got 10 inches of fresh snow. The next day it continued to keep snowing leaving a fresh blanket of snow on the mountain. The ski hill was quiet but that did not keep people from trying the new line up of skis. Everyone was lining up to demo a pair of our powder skis.<br />

I packed up the van and headed out for Park City Utah. Once arriving in Utah, I was told by locals that it had been sunny for the past week. The mountain peaks were barely covered in snow and the ski hills had minimal coverage. As I drove up to Brighton Ski Resort for the first demo day I was stoked to see a little bit more snow. Everyone at Brighton Ski Resort were great and they helped me set up my tent.<br />

The phrase "flurry of activity" doesn't quite do justice to the last few weeks. Since SIA I've done time in California, Utah, New Mexico, Wyoming, more Utah, and most recently home here in Colorado. It's had it's ups and downs, but skis, snow, and fun reign supreme.<br />

"You don't leave Jackson Hole during a storm." Ask anyone who has ever skied Jackson during a storm and they will tell you that phrase is surely somewhere in the New Testament. But, in sub-zero temps, with this winter's largest storm barreling straight towards the Tetons and 55 inches in the forecast, that's exactly what I had to do. Sure I thought about staying, but the price for getting paid to ski all over the country is having a schedule to keep, and skiers to make happy. That, and if I was having any more fun I'd just be greedy.<br />

Before I got to Jackson Hole I did a demo stop at Lost Trail. Lost Trail? Huh? Where is that? Lost Trail is a smaller locals hill on the Montana/Idaho border. Filled with fixed grip chairs, flannels, and plenty of powder, Lost Trail kicks ass. The locals live for skiing, and for a tiny hill, Lost Trail holds some legit, scare-yourself-silly terrain. I even had some help from Missoula's Back Country Racks. Check them out at backcountryfreeskier.com. Little hills might lack the glam of big resorts, but the people who ski them everyday are just as dedicated as any "Big Resort INC" ski area. They all love Liberty as well.<br />

I left Lost Trail with some happy Liberty converts, as well as a well fed ski patrol thanks to Clif Bar. From there I went straight to Jackson Hole and did as all should do in a Mountain Town in Wyoming. Played cards and prayed for snow instead of luck. As posted earlier the snow is coming, but I'm already gone. Instead, I took out some shop locals on a special sneak preview of next years skis. In turn they showed me some Jackson Hole secrets. I never imagined going caving at a resort.<br />

My time in the Northwest is dwindling, and in the last few weeks I've had more than my fair share of fun. From my first sunrise outside of a truck stop in Oregon to this last weekend in Bozeman there hasn't been a dull moment. I've skied deep snow, skidded on ice, been buried in ClifBar wrappers, tuned skis in frigid garages filled with motorcycles, and slept on more couches than I can count.<br />

just cruising with friends and hanging out in the parking lot afterwards. To
celebrate that we’re proud to announce a new series of events called Liberty
Underground. How does it work? Follow Liberty via the Demo Tour and Facebook.
Liberty Underground Events will be announced a week or so in advance and will

I'd like to think that the over 2,000 miles I logged in 5 days have something to do with Winter deciding to show up to the party. The whirling forces spreading off the van's perpetually moving wheels must have created enough of a tumult to dissipate the high-pressure system hovering above the Rockies like an the alien ships from the movie Independence Day. I'm pretty sure meteorologists will tell us otherwise.<br />

The route up to Mt. Bachelor from Liberty World HQ was mostly a smooth one. I saw some serious carnage, drove a van filled with skis through the middle of Utah's desert, and spent some time sleeping in a truck stop. Between the Kicker sound system and sneaking into my supply of Clif Bars I managed to drive through the night and into Oregon. The snow was better than the locals said it was (They're spoiled in the North West) and then got set up for a demo in the middle of the one shady patch at Mt. Bachelor under a cloudless sky. Oh well.<br />

Then it was off to 49 Degrees North and Schweitzer for some Demoing and riding with the Ski Patrol. It was pretty amazing teaching a bunch of Patrolers that they could ski the same terrain on wider skis with less effort after getting them to change their technique.<br />

Finally I made it home to Missoula for Christmas. The best part? Over 10 inches and an empty parking lot. After some serious time spent riding express chairs and paying for parking it's good to remember why showing up to the "local" hill can be so good. Video up soon!<br />

Crested Butte was a RIOT. Between the <a href="http://www.nbs.org/" target="_blank">National Brotherhood of Skiers</a>, a river of <a href="http://robsbeercans.com/images/CR1055.JPG" target="_blank">Coors</a>, and some fantastic sunshine I barley made it out alive. There are few authentic mountain towns these days, and Crested Butte is one of them for sure. The people are friendly, the hill is steep, and everyone rips.<br />

I may have witnessed one of the first ever Ski-Bows as a free-heeler was inspired by Denver Bronco's QB Tim Tebow. I'm not a football fan but I thought this was hilarious. Two points for the tele crowd. I also got to hang out with the locals on my day off. Crested Butte knows how to spend a sunny Sunday on the deck for sure.<br />

Between packing up, saying good byes to everyone here in Avon, and
sampling strange Chinese beverages things can get a little different. We
don't only just play Foosball. <br />

At Liberty, we do things a bit differently. For starters the
company was founded after the owners won 50k in Vegas. Instead of spending the
money on <a href="http://www.coors.com/" target="_blank">booze</a>, <a href="http://trialx.com/curetalk/wp-content/blogs.dir/7/files/2011/06/cars/1991_Geo_Metro-3.jpeg" target="_blank">fast cars</a>, or a <a href="http://www.chocofountain.com/Cheese_Fountain.html" target="_blank">fancy cheese fountain</a>, they started a company
dedicated to making freeride skis that rip.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
This mentality brings me to Denver this morning. See, a
couple of weeks ago I was driving over Vail Pass late at night in the middle of
a full-blown white out. To keep motivated I blasted our <a href="http://kicker.com/" target="_blank">Kicker</a> sound system at
11 so that my eyes rattled with the rhythm and I maintained a constant sense of
hyper vigilance. All was going well until the descent into Vail. While passing
a semi, our beloved Demo Van suddenly turned off. I was forced to perform
radical maneuvers in order to safely guide my wounded steed to the side of the
road. It turns out our sound system is so powerful; it drains the battery even
when the van is idling. I presented three solutions to solve the problem:</div>
<div class="MsoListParagraphCxSpFirst" style="mso-list: l0 level1 lfo1; text-indent: -.25in;">
<span style="mso-bidi-font-family: Cambria; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin;"><span style="mso-list: Ignore;">1.<span style="font: 7.0pt "Times New Roman";">
</span></span></span>Drive faster during white out conditions.</div>
<div class="MsoListParagraphCxSpMiddle" style="mso-list: l0 level1 lfo1; text-indent: -.25in;">
<span style="mso-bidi-font-family: Cambria; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin;"><span style="mso-list: Ignore;">2.<span style="font: 7.0pt "Times New Roman";">
</span></span></span>Turn the music down while driving slowly.</div>
<div class="MsoListParagraphCxSpLast" style="mso-list: l0 level1 lfo1; text-indent: -.25in;">
<span style="mso-bidi-font-family: Cambria; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin;"><span style="mso-list: Ignore;">3.<span style="font: 7.0pt "Times New Roman";">
</span></span></span>Spend money so that I can drive safely and still
do damage to my eardrums.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Solution one puts me at risk and wouldn’t make OSHA happy. Number
two would be a disservice not only to Kicker, but also the various <a href="http://www.deadprez.com/" target="_blank">Hip Hop</a> and
<a href="http://www.ironmaiden.com/" target="_blank">Speed Metal </a>artists that we all love. So in true Liberty fashion we’re doing
things the right way and upgrading the van’s electronics. After this a Red Bull
vehicle will only top the van, but we won’t give you <a href="http://www.byhealthcare.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/08/Do-Not-Patch-the-Cavities.jpg" target="_blank">cavities</a>.</div>

Besides the rock star lifestyle of unwashed clothes, ski wax shavings, and the never ending search for new and creative ways to serve up<a href="http://peanutbutterlovers.com/category/recipes/entrees/" target="_blank"> peanut butter lathered meals</a>, being a demo manager has its downsides. Actually it doesn't. Between frequent ski days, setting up a demo tour that largely consists of my favorite mountains (and yours too), and dealing with some of the coolest companies in the industry, I get to do fun side projects like driving through snowstorms and delivering skis to our friends at <a href="http://www.powderaddiction.com/" target="_blank">Powder Addiction</a>. They run a cat skiing operation near Winter Park, and a few handshakes later I'll be doing some cat skiing this winter.<br />

My job is to ski a lot too. Liberty World Headquarters is only a quick bus ride away from Beaver Creek. So I'm going to get some turns in this weekend before seeing everybody at <a href="http://www.winterparkresort.com/index.htm" target="_blank">Winter Park</a> this weekend where we'll be having another happy hour with<a href="http://taptherockies.com/age.php" target="_blank"> Coors</a>, and giving away another pair of skis.

The first stop of the demo tour went off without a hitch this past weekend as the van and I parked ourselves right in the middle of Copper's Burning Stones Plaza. Between the high-energy base area Muzak, fresh snow, free donuts, and constant stream of smiles all day long we couldn't have had a better time.<br />
<br />
The best part may have came on Saturday night when <a href="http://taptherockies.com/" target="_blank">Coors</a> put on a happy hour and gave away a pair of Double Helixes. At first I couldn't believe how many people stuck around from the demo just to have a shot at a free pair of skis, but then I thought about how many people loved them throughout the day even though November snow is anything but deep.<br />

I have to give credit to the winner though,
his strategy of buying me drinks moments before the raffle seemed to
have some sort of karmic effect. He was so happy he wanted to buy me
more drinks, and I had to assure him that there was no direct
correlation between buying me booze and winning skis.<br />
<br />
<br />
For another shot at winning Liberty Skis with Coors, be sure to
join me at Winter Park Dec 3rd for their demo day and Coors Happy Hour
afterward. <br />

It's the eve of the Second Annual LBRT 2 RIDE Demo Tour, and we're happy to say that this weekend at Copper is going to be a big one. The van is almost packed, skis are scraped, and we've got a few more surprises in store for those of you joining us!<br />
<br />
For starters our first contest begins tomorrow for a pair of <a href="http://www.kicker.com/" target="_blank">Kicker</a> headphones or ear buds. Just remember to play your favorite riding music for me to get a chance to win. We're keeping things lively throughout the day, thanks to Copper's own <a href="http://www.facebook.com/pages/Sugar-Lips-Mini-Donuts/117249776704" target="_blank">Sugar Lips Mini Doughnuts</a>, who will be providing snacks to keep skiers fed, and me at a steady weekend-long sugar rush. To top off the fun, on Saturday, Coors will be hosting happy hour at Endo's Adrenaline Cafe where they'll be giving away a pair of our award-winning <a href="http://libertyskis.com/double-helix" target="_blank">Double Helix!</a><br />
<br />
What better way to start off the tour season than hooking you all up with some free stuff and some great turns aboard Liberty Skis! If you can't make Copper, look forward to the following stops with more to come!<br />

Winter’s first flakes are falling, and here at Liberty Skis
we’re wrapping up the final touches on our second annual LBRT TO RIDE Demo
Tour. This year, our infamous tour van is running a winter-long marathon
serving up Liberty’s bamboo goodness at stops in Colorado, Utah, Idaho, Oregon,
Montana, Wyoming, California, Canada and more.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Expect contests, give a ways, after parties, and fun on skis
all winter long. We’ll also throw a few special underground events that will
only be advertised through our social media outlets. <span> </span>We invite you to follow along as our
Tour Manager, and voice from the road, Gavin, broadcasts his adventures and
exploits across North America. He’ll be spreading Liberty’s good word at a
mountain near you for your skiing and viewing pleasure.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
We’re announcing stops in the next few days, so make sure to
subscribe to our <a href="http://libertydemo.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">Blog</a>, <a href="http://twitter.com/LBRT2RIDE" target="_blank">Twitter</a>, and <a href="http://www.facebook.com/#%21/pages/Liberty-Skis/8748846266" target="_blank">Facebook</a>, for tour info and adventure
